~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cho lay on her bed looking up at the ceiling. It was dinner time but she wasn't hungry. Her head was full of Harry, as usual. She hadn't stopped thinking about him since the room of requirement and their kiss. She spent countless hours wondering about what she'd said to him. One phrase spun around in her head.
I love you…….
What did it mean, what was love? An emotion? A feeling? Love didn't have a definition. Truthfully it was just a word, it meant nothing. But to Cho it wasn't like that, she'd never felt like this about anyone. Was this love? How could it be love if love was just a word?
Cho felt a tear slide down her pale cheek. Her deep brown eyes filled with tears. Tears of confusion and frustration. At herself. At the world. At everything she was feeling. Everything that was wrong in her life.
She didn't know how long she lay still. Thinking.
Cho got up and wandered over to her window, she looked out over the white, frosty Hogwarts grounds. The last of the snow was melting away, spring would be here soon Cho thought. Her eyes rested on the great, grey lake as the sun disappeared completely behind the horizon. Cho remembered her dream, the scene with herself and Harry standing together at the lake's edge.
What was Harry doing now? She imagined his face in her mind. His sparkling, emerald eyes. They were so caring and soft. He could melt Cho's heart with just one look. Whenever she glanced him in the corridor she would go weak at the knees and the feeling of………..What was that feeling? Something that made her want to run over to him, hold him tight and never let go.
The room grew increasingly darker as the sun set behind the horizon. Cho looked out of her window, mixed emotions swirling around in the pit of her stomach. The sunset seemed to mirror her thoughts and feelings. A mixture of pinks and yellows, beside blood reds and shadows engulfing the grounds as it was taken over by the darkness.
Cho's room mates started to arrive back in the dormitory, she lay on her bed trying to sleep as blackness swallowed up the last of the light.
She dreamt she was standing in a graveyard. Cho heard voices behind her.
"Where are we?" said a voice Cho knew so well. One she'd dreamt about. Her heart leapt, and some how she knew who would speak next.
"Did anyone tell you the Cup was a Portkey?" said the voice of Cho's ex-boyfriend…..Cedric…….
"Nope," said Harry, there were a few moments of eerie silence in which Cho stepped forward to look at Harry and Cedric. She knew they couldn't see her. This was part of the past. Tears fell freely from Cho's eyes as she saw the two boys look around confused. "Is this supposed to be part of the task?" Harry said.
"I dunno, wands out d'you reckon?" said Cedric.
"Yeh," they both pulled out their wands. "Someone's coming," said Harry suddenly and Cho as well as Cedric and squinted through the darkness. A hooded and cloaked figure appeared from the mist blackness. The figure was carrying a bundle, it looked like something was wrapped up in the bundle, but Cho couldn't see anything.
The figure stood beside a huge marble grave and Harry, Cedric and the figure stood in silence for a moment or two before Harry suddenly fell to the ground, his fists clenched, and look of excruciating pain on his face.
"Harry!" Cho screamed desperately, knowing that Harry couldn't hear her. Then a high cold voice echoed through the graveyard, but it wasn't the hooded figure who spoke, the voice came from the bundle of material.
"Kill the spare." The voice sent shivers through Cho's spine, like having ice poured through your soul. She was still sobbing, wishing she could do something, anything. But there was another voice, this time the figure screamed into the blackness, the words Cho knew were coming but still made her scream.
"Avada Kedavra!"
"CEDRIC! HARRY!" Cho screeched as a flash of green light illuminated the graveyard. But the graveyard was gone. She was standing in a large white room. Everything was so white you couldn't tell what was floor and what were walls. But right in front of Cho was the thing that drew her attention. Her grandmother was standing in front of her. It didn't make sense, she was dead, but was standing ahead, looking straight at Cho. Then she began to speak.
"Cho you know that what you have just seen was the beginning of the rise of Lord Voldemort. What he did to Cedric Diggory is only the start of what he can do to others. The dark Lord must be defeated, it is your destiny to aid in the second war against Voldemort. The ring you bear on your finger once belonged to Rowena Ravenclaw, founder of a Hogwarts house. It is written in the stars that together not just you but the heir of Gryffindor will be bound to defeating evil, to over-throw Lord Voldemort. You know who the heir of Gryffindor is, you know it's not just friendship that draws you to Harry Potter, but something stronger destiny, future and love."
And then her grandmother was gone. Images barley a split second long flashed past Cho's eyes: The ring, Harry's face, Cedric's dead body, the bundle, the hooded figure, her grandmother's face and the graveyard.
Cho woke sweating and shaking, but she knew what she had to do. She knew she had to see Harry again. The dream had brought everything into light. As if she'd know it all along, but this made everything come to the surface.
*************
Breakfast came. Cho was still shaken and scared, but she was determined to see Harry, to tell him everything. She left the Ravenclaw table as soon as she saw Harry get up and followed him until she was close enough behind him to say:
"Harry! Harry!" Harry spun around, his beautiful green eyes rested on Cho, she thought she might faint.
Harry looked like he was about to run off. "No Harry wait," Cho said as she drew level with him. Harry didn't move. "Take this," she said giving him the note then turning on her heal she almost ran in the other direction, before he could say anything.
Harry's POV:
Harry sat in Divination reading and re-reading the note:
Harry
I have to talk to you urgently meet me same place as last time 9pm
ChoHe spent all day debating whether to go. What did Cho want to talk to him about that was so urgent? Hadn't they told each-other everything last time? Could he just ignore it? No……. he cared for Cho, and he had to go, it felt wrong not to.
So at 8:45pm Harry left the common room, telling Hermione he was going to do some homework in the Library. He walked quickly down the corridors and was first to arrive outside the room of requirement. At exactly 9pm Cho turned up looking nervous and shy. They went inside and sat down in the same two armchairs that had been there last time by the fire.
"Cho if this is about last time, if it's about us, I don't know whether I can do this, I know I have feelings for you, but I just don't think this can happen," he said slowly, after a few minutes of strained silence. Not meeting her eyes.
"No Harry, although I do still have those feelings for you, and nothing will ever change that, this isn't about us." Cho said, wishing Harry would look up at her. "Last night I dreamt about you and Cedric and V-V-Voldemort," Harry almost gasped at hearing Cedric's name again after so long. "It showed me what happened the night of the third task," Cho was fighting back tears. She was remembering Cedric's dead body and Harry as he fell to his knees in pain.
"What happened? What did you see?" Harry said raising his head slightly, but not meeting her gaze.
"I was in this graveyard. This hooded figure came out of the darkness to you and Cedric, he was carrying something, like a bundle of robes which told him to kill the spare' so he k-k-killed C-C-Cedric," Cho was crying now. Tears were trickling down her cheeks. Harry wondered whether he should comfort her. He looked at her face which was full of misery and confusion. He couldn't help but imagine how hard it must be for Cho to tell him this, Cedric had been her boyfriend.
He reached over the table and took her hand gingerly in his. She didn't flinch or move her hand, instead she swallowed back her tears and wiped her face dry.
"Sorry Harry," she said softly.
"It's ok," Harry said awkwardly. After a few moments Cho took a deep breath and went on. "I didn't see what happened after that. I was standing in a big white room, I saw my Grandmother, she died in the summer holidays but she was standing right in front of me." Harry nodded as if urging her to continue. He still subconsciously had a grip on Cho's hand. "She said that what I'd seen was the beginning of the rise of V-Voldemort, that I had to help defeat him."
Cho paused to take off her ring and place it on the table. Harry regarded it curiously but said nothing, letting Cho continue with her dream.
"She said that I am the heir of Ravenclaw, this ring belonged to Rowena Ravenclaw. Then she said that me and the heir of Gryffindor are supposed to fight V-V-Voldemort and defeat him. She said you were the heir of Gryffindor Harry, that's partly why we are drawn together, it's our destiny." Cho finished her account, and looked into Harry's eyes, searching for some sort of expression to tell her what he was thinking. After a minute or two the silence became too much for Cho.
"Do you think it's true?" Cho whispered. Harry paused momentarily, deep in thought.
"Yes."
